Theres a cross format league set up, see the seperate posts in this section, the ps4 one is called piston-heads. There is also another one set up for ps4 called piston-heads2.

Assuming you have a ps4 or that the way of doing it on different formats is the same, in the menu go to leagues, click on where it says go to dirt.com to join league (or similar), type in the name of the league which comes up.

Or use your computer to go to the dirt game website, log in and do it this way which will then show up automatically in leagues section.

Good. I won't miss out on the first one.....I wonder how much James will win by?? hehe
My rally was over halfway through the 2nd stage, was pushing hard but ended in a slow motion roll up and over a snow bank. laugh

I'm guessing the others that have set times so far also did the same since I'm currently leading the standings despite this! Don't expect to be there for long though.

Look in the menu for `Leagues` and have a look at friends leagues, you may be able to join from there.

Also, you might need a RaceNet account first.

Oh FFS, 30 seconds from the end of the last stage running a steady 5th, I clipped a wall. So when I was reversing to get back straight I fell off the edge and ended up falling off a cliff and retiring. frown

That`s if you`ve got any friends.

I`m not sure if Polarbert had Dirt Rally or not.

Yes, if you're the only one to have completed, you will only see your time in overall. To see how many stages people have done, step through the stages individually and you will see the times.

End of fifth stage on piston-heads2 and binned it off a cliff. Cant even finish the stages i set up frown

I think speckle is going to win the first stage purely by being the only one to keep it going to the end

Tried to register, enter new username and password, email added, confirmed... All a pain on a controller then boom dirt online currently unavailable

Why cant they just link to a live account instead of forcing you to use their own systems which clearly wont be as rich as the ms ones

Ok, so the new details are up on the Cross-Platform wiki page. Sorry to end it early, but I'm not sure I will have time to sort it out tomorrow, and it needed correcting. It looked like everyone who was going to give it a go had done so.) The warm up event results can be seen at the bottom of the wiki page.

We should be in sync with the PS4 one as of tomorrow evening, give or take half hour or so, remember stage/event retries are now off!

Edit: it says next event is is Col de Turini, which isn't on the league page...am I doing the wrong one? It only shows that one when I search leagues for piston

If you go to the dirt rally site on a computer, log in under your gamertag and make sure it is connected to the correct platform is ps4 xbox or steam. You can then go to leagues and find a new league via the search facility.

I believe the main one is called piston-heads and for ps4 at least there is a second one called piston-heads2

You can also do this from the leagues section in game but i found this cumbersome on the ps4.

The interface is shocking on web site once it loads, click your name and underneath you can set steam, xbox or ps4

Totally agree, the racenet website is not intuitive at all! Still looks like I'm the only one to complete all the piston-heads2 stages as of this morning. I was excessively cautious on the Monaco stages after binning it off a cliff in last month's monthly challenge! Looks like it may have paid off.

I've managed to do the first 4 stages of the new monthly challenge without incident. Only 20 more stages to go!!

I errr didn't do very well on the PH league and destroyed the car by being a little too aggressive. hehe.

I did the daily Pike's Peak last night in the 205 and made it to the top by being sensible and not crashing in 11m36s. How the blithering hell the quick guys go up there in 8m50s ish is way beyond me!

I managed 10m 14s on the Pikes Peak daily....I think the faster times come from getting to know the track really well. I was mostly guessing where the sharp bends were (and managed to guess correctly a few times!!) Only had time for a single run though, I would have liked to try and sneak under 10 mins

First time I've tried Pikes Peak on multiple surfaces, the dirt sections are great fun drivingthumbup
